Had the pleasure of listening to this while driving home this evening - not sure if this is the first time he’s talked to media or not, but I felt encouraged:
I’m am equally a dumbass…got the same result.Maybe I’m a dumbarse but how do I listen to the interview? I clicked the link and it took me to the current live on air broadcast
I thought that too for quick second. I think a big portion of our loss was our team was worn out, they were running on fumes before the first play against GA.It only left me wondering how much time was spent entertaining 6 transfer recruits on campus for their official visit during the week of national championship game preparation.
That was my thought. They looked confused and slow. It’s a learning process if TCU can continue the trajectory and continue to play in meaningful games. The experience helps. That’s a big IF. The big 12 is strong. The QB position transfers and the player portal will change things drastically from year to year. I feel the overall turmoil pertaining to players transfers and the upcoming expansion of the playoffs is a great thing. No guarantee. Go Frogs!I thought that too for quick second.

Dykes thought TCU started too energized, and then when down early, played desperate, trying to do too much individually.I thought that too for quick second. I think a big portion of our loss was our team was worn out, they were running on fumes before the first play against GA.
After listening to the Kirby Smart pregame audio (which I highly recommend everyone doing) it was apparent that our mindset was that of a Murray St.The Frogs looked like a Murray St. out there. The lack of preparation was absolutely grotesque.
At some point the anger will fade to the degree that I can listen to their excuses, but at this point we all just witnessed a complete and systematic annihilation brought on by superior preparation and discipline. Our brain trust had no idea what we would be running into, and it showed.
On the Biggest Stage in College Football, we couldn't get out of our own way and left an embarrassing stain that will never fade.

Kirby literally wanted his players to rip our scheissing heads off and murder our unborn children.
It's clear that the Frogs just weren't ready to face a more talented Georgia team that was out for blood. And that falls mostly on Sonny and his staff since they get paid the big bucks to prepare our team to play its best, no matter the circumstances.
With that being said, however, it wasn't the coaches that committed three atrocious turnovers in the first half that caused the floodgates to open.
In sum, there's no way that we were going to win that game but there's also no excuse for a beatdown to the tune of 65-7.
There's plenty of fault to be spread around but also lots of lessons to be learned. And I think Sonny is the kind of self-reflective and open-minded coach who will do just that. Unlike Patterson, he'll make the changes that need to be made and will never reach a point of stubborn intransigence and deflection that will cause him to view himself as "untouchable."
I'm firmly convinced that we've got the right coach and we're on the right track. The best is yet to come for Horned Frog Football so let's keep the faith and Go Frogs!
Great summary. Thanks for posting.said before and will say it again in that the difference in preparation didn't start after the games on the 31st
the difference started the day after uga won their first title. every thing dealing with their program was set to achieve one goal and that was to win the 15th game of the 2022 season
their offseason, spring ball, summer training, fall camp, their season, their practice routines, everything was set to come to a head in game 15 period
smart's teams have played in a cfp title game 3 times which means they know the demands of navigating a 15-game season, the know the challenges of grinding through a regular season, playing in.a conference title game, playing a highly rated opponent 30-days later, AND playing another 10 days after for the title
the only player, coach, or support staff member who had seen that was back up nose ty mitchell
then consider all that sonny and his staff have had to do in 12-13 months time building a new culture from.the ground up instead of tweaking one that had gone 14-1 the year before in a program that has gone 73-10 over the last 6 seasons
uga is a freaking machine in all facets of the program and tcu was a year-1 renovation project that was much closer to a total overhaul than a matter of some simple refinements
the frogs expended a great deal of energy simply getting through the season and while those victories helped build confidence and resolve, but in the end it left this team and staff exposed going into game 15 with nothing left really to give to the game
sonny made mistakes no doubt, the game could have been closer, but no pregame speech or 9 days of prep w no other distractions was going to change that outcome, merely the margin
